Business Media Kursiv established the International Annual Women’s Leadership Award First Among Equals. The second award takes place on December 10 at The Hyatt Regency Hotel.
The First Among Equals Award aims to support women who show that any woman can become the first among equals through their personal and professional achievements.
“Today, in Uzbekistan, many women hold leadership positions in their companies and have successfully entered traditionally considered masculine professions while actively participating in public life. Our contest aims to highlight the new faces of women’s leadership in Uzbekistan. These women leaders are excellent role models for young girls on the brink of choosing their careers. Such role models can inspire them to pursue their passions despite the stereotypes and restrictions that persist in society,” said Anastasia Novikova, Edito-in-Chief of Kursiv Uzbekistan.
Novikova noted that last year’s award highlighted a significant interest among businesses in women’s leadership and gender equality. This year, the number of nominations has increased from 10 to 13. The award will recognise individual achievements across various industries and projects that advance the concepts of women’s leadership.
